Example Prompt
Teach me how to guide my [AGE]-year-old through solving [TYPE OF PROBLEM - sibling conflict/friend issue/homework frustration/unfair situation]. I want to help them without solving it for them.

Pro Tip
Resist the urge to fix it immediately because the struggle of problem-solving builds the skill.
